Career Development Coaching

Most CEOs and other C-level executives have leveraged Career Development coaches in some form throughout their career. Career Development coaching is equally valuable for non-executives (i.e., “everyday people”) as well. A good career coach starts with a thorough understanding of your situation and helps you define a specific goal (or various goals) that you would like to achieve over a period of time.

You and your coach then produce goals and a clear path for achieving them. You will also discuss barriers and overcome obstacles (both internal and external) that may be preventing you from achieving your goals.

Depending on the size of your goal, you will break down your action plan into reasonable steps to be accomplished each week. You and your coach will typically meet for 30 to 60 minutes on a weekly basis to assess your progress, share research and provide guidance on next weeks’ objectives.  Reference the following article written by a member of the CEO Advisory Council describing how to achieve goals in your life as an example of how to break down goals into achievable steps.

 

5 Steps To Achieving Goals in Your Life

Coaching can be delivered in many different ways but the most effective is one-on-one coaching where you are in a relaxed, private, typically face-to-face or video conference environment.

Here at the CEO Advisory Council, we live by the axiom:

Passion + Purpose = Profit

To this end, each and every one of us is responsible for how much success we will ultimately achieve in our career. This doesn’t mean that you have all the answers. This means you want to take an active role in shaping the direction of your career. Top executives at most major companies work with development specialists and mentors. They take an active role rather than just letting things happen.

Whether you work with us or someone else, we urge you to take control of your career. Of course, we would enjoy the opportunity to work with you as you achieve amazing goals in your career and you can start today by contacting us for a no-cost, initial consultation.

Our specialty is career development and career success. Don’t let chance or someone else shape your career.

It’s time to maximize your personal and professional potential! This means being in charge of your career’s direction. Some of the benefits stemming from taking charge of your career via Career Development coaching are listed below:

• Achieve a long-term career vision
• Address and overcome limiting beliefs
• Develop effective negotiation skills
• Identify skill or experience gaps, and creative solutions to close the gaps
• Learn communication strategies for productive, positive relationships with your peers, manager and direct reports
• Identify what might be holding you back from moving forward in your career

If you have ever asked yourself any of the following questions, then you can benefit from our Career Development coaching service:

• Why am I seldom considered for a promotion?
• How do I get noticed for the good work I’m doing?
• What’s the secret to becoming a more effective communicator?
• How do I help my team become more efficient?
• What’s the best way to handle a challenging coworker or manager?

As aforementioned, coaching is not just for executives–coaching is for everyone. Most people think that they cannot afford a professional coach. In this case, one last question you should ask yourself in addition to the questions above is:

• Can I afford not to reap the benefits of a professional coach?

This is perhaps the most important question of all. Don’t let life pass you by. You can achieve the goals you desire. You start by believing with all your heart that you have already achieved them, then contact us today and we will assist in making your mind’s virtual reality come to fruition.
